Cardiothoracic Surgery & Cardiac transplantation

Cardiothoracic surgery is a specialized field of surgery that focuses on the treatment of diseases affecting the heart, lungs, esophagus, and other organs within the chest. Surgeons in this field perform complex procedures such as coronary artery bypass surgery, heart valve repair or replacement, lung surgery, and congenital heart defect corrections. Cardiac transplantation, or heart transplant surgery, is a life-saving procedure performed for patients with end-stage heart failure or severe heart disease when other treatments are no longer effective. During the procedure, a damaged heart is replaced with a healthy donor heart to restore normal heart function.

Together, cardiothoracic surgery and cardiac transplantation play a crucial role in treating advanced heart and chest conditions, improving survival rates, and enhancing patients’ quality of life.
